We Will Never Forget ... by Jenny Wells
How long will it take to forget seeing the planes crash into the World Trade Towers? How long will it take to forget watching TV for hours and hours?
How long will it take to forget seeing people running for their lives? How long will it take to forget hearing their cries?

How long will it take to forget the crumbling of the Towers to the ground? How long will it take to forget the people running all around?
How long will it take to see the number 911 and not think of Sept. 11? How long will it take to forget two towers that reached for the heavens?
It will take longer than before time began. For we as Americans will always stand. We will never forget them, we will never try. Our country does not forget the ones who die!
We did not forget the two World Wars. Yes, even Vietnam took more than one tour. Korea, Desert Storm, we fought for what was right. Our soldiers fought hard, fought with all their might.
Our freedom reigns, and our flag flies high. We will never forget, we will never try. We are America; we are the red, white and the blue. We fight for the many, we fight for the few.
It is what makes us strong; it helps us to carry on. We are United, we will defend. We will stand proud and strong to the end.
Even though our hearts are broken in two. We know now what we must do. We stand again, hand in hand. To protect our families, our friends, and our land.
Now it is terrorists that we fear. For they are among us, they are near. You can’t tell who they are. They look like us. It makes you think, who can we trust?
God has in the past blessed the U. S. A. He will in the future as long as we pray. We pray for guidance in all situations. Even now, pray for the war between nations.
We will not forget them; we won’t forget this attack on our land. For we are the United States of America, United we stand.
